Observability teams as a centralized function within SRE or IT Operations are a relatively recent phenomenon. These teams are responsible for managing the monitoring and observability toolset and empowering developer and engineering teams to push the right data into the systems to get back the information they need. This session will cover what an organization must consider when establishing their observability function, including practical next steps on how to get started.
Sponsored: A giant THANK YOU to the team at Zelarsoft for supporting and arranging this month’s meetup! Thanks also to our organizers Vasu Maganti, Josh Hurst, and Thu Vuong for their ongoing support.
